I spent the end of the year clearing & creating space, so I may travel light into 2024 lighter still.
As I sit with my san kalpa, my soul’s desire, this year, I realize how much I’m finding balance between being present with my family and being present with my soul’s sharing.
They are one in the same. They just look different. Somehow my mind keeps siloing them apart from one another.
There’s the me in my meditation room—going molten earth deep and cosmic mother high—writing, guiding practices, holding space, sharing yoga journeys and wisdom in mothering & women’s healing circles.
There’s the ego subset of me from there judging I’m not accomplishing enough.
Then there’s the me with my kids, in the living room in front of the fire or at the big dining table, learning together. Or out hiking and playing and building and traveling and eating really good food—all of our family of five, learning together. That’s called homeschool. ((I call it love, and I’m so grateful we’ve cultivated this life…)
There’s the ego subset of me from there criticizing I’m not accomplishing enough.
(
But the truth is: I go all the way.
There’s a subset of this, called Not always. Yes, sometimes I half-ass my way in practice, mothering, and partnering. I do things that don’t matter in favor of the things that do matter.
I’m relatable, not perfect.
But I always follow my heart to what matters.
I don’t know if it’s easy or hard. Easy and hard are just ideas, unhelpful at best.
Instead, I sit in waves of gratitude that I am consistently able to follow my heart.
It led me to writing
It led me to passports,
Shiny running tights, electric blue
Backpacking, so many hiking shoes
To the great beyonds and Patagonia
To my husband—the bus where 3 children were dreamed in total sensual, sexy glee.
Ice hikes and making love on glaciers, forests, caves (& if the caves didn’t happen, it only hasn’t yet.)
It led me back home, to homebirth, to homeschool, to home is wherever I’m with you.
It led to the family culture I so deeply cherish.
I create what I want.
I always have.
We all do.
It’s just that sometimes we aren’t seeing clearly what it is we tell the universe we want.
That’s just us living through conditioning, though. We can remedy that.
It takes right effort and perseverance, but after a while—on the continuum from effort to effortless ease—the gauge leans more on the side of ease.
That brings me back to my san kalpa.
San kalpa is a Sanskrit term describing a vow or deepest prayer to unite with the highest Truth, to live your dharma, your purpose.
We are all unique; our desires are divinely place and intelligent. Our longings are signposts on the path, leading us ever deeper to the Truth of who we are, to the timeless Self.
What wants to be shared through me?
💎 Re/Mothering (Something for kids in gestation)
💎 Writing and channeling
💎 Sadhana/Daily Ritual Mentorship

💎 Dasha Mahavidyas immersion
💎 Vedic Astrology readings

💎 Retreats (Colombia beach in July! That’s going to feel Amazing & oh so soul-nourishing! It’s called Bliss of Being. It’s where we come to remember simply being IS bliss. Mmmmmm.)
It’s simple really. I want to continue doing what I’ve been doing, because it’s the most effective, self-powered transformation I know.
It works. So many shifts are possible in such a short time. This is basically a curriculum on how to fall back in love with life, because finally you’re loving yourself. And life is you. And you are life.
This innerstanding can only be covered by you. Nobody else can plumb your depths for you.
What I share are the practices, techniques, wisdom, and tools you need to plumb deep and prosper.
I reflect you back to you. You’re so capable and adventurous, brave and joyful, simple and true. You create beautiful spaces, and the primary space is within.
I want to share more, rather than hide or seek. What flows through me is an integration of all my gifts and talents. Unlocking the divine feminine, mothering and remothering, nature and beauty are a big part of what moves through me.
What are you tuning into for 2024?
